Tasha pretends to be a princess in Egypt, Princess CleoTasha, who enlists the help of her servants Pablo, Tyrone and Austin to find three presents for Sphinx Uniqua so she can learn the secret of the Nile to get the river flowing again. But there's one problem about this princess — she never says "please" or "thank you", and it's up to the servants to teach her a lesson in manners.
"Go get these tropes now!" (You could say please...)
- Aside Glance: Pablo and Austin do this in several occasions throughout the episode.
- An Aesop: The magic words "please" and "thank you" can make wonderful things happen.
- Color-Coded Patrician: CleoTasha wears red, while her servants wear white.
- "I Am Great!" Song: Tasha has "I Love Being a Princess" as she sings about her princess life.
- Narcissist: CleoTasha shows this in spades. Only caring about herself and never using manners. She learns by the end.

- Rule of Three: Three presents need to be brought to the Sphinx.
